JSW MG Motor India has introduced the Hector Tomahawk range in India, with the plug-in hybrid version positioned as one of the key additions to the lineup. Prices for the range start at Rs. 13.99 lakh (ex-showroom), while the PHEV is listed with BaaS pricing starting at Rs. 21.80 lakh.
Bookings for the new model are now open. Deliveries of the PHEV are scheduled to begin in September, while the EV version is expected to follow in November.
The Hector Tomahawk PHEV combines a petrol engine with a sizeable battery pack and is offered with two variants. Here is a closer look at its colours, seating configuration, dimensions and powertrain.
Variants
The 2026 MG Hector Tomahawk PHEV is available in two variants – Exclusive and Essence.
Unlike the EV version, which offers both five-seat and seven-seat configurations, the PHEV is available exclusively as a seven-seater.
This makes the PHEV particularly relevant for buyers looking for a larger family SUV with electrified powertrain technology and three-row seating.
Bookings are currently open, while deliveries of the PHEV are scheduled to commence in September.
Colours
MG is offering the Hector Tomahawk PHEV with a mix of single-tone and dual-tone exterior finishes.
The available colours are:
| Type | Colour |
|---|---|
| Mono-tone | Aurora Silver |
| Mono-tone | Shadow Gold |
| Mono-tone | Celadon Blue |
| Mono-tone | Pearl White |
| Mono-tone | Turquoise Green |
| Mono-tone | Starry Black |
| Dual-tone | Celadon Blue and White |
| Dual-tone | Turquoise Green and White |
The range gives buyers several choices, from more conventional shades such as Pearl White and Starry Black to brighter options including Turquoise Green and Celadon Blue.
Dimensions
The Hector Tomahawk PHEV measures 4,745mm in length, 2,130mm in width and 1,850mm in height. It has a wheelbase of 2,810mm.
Its dimensions place it firmly in the large SUV category, while the three-row configuration is aimed at buyers who regularly need additional seating capacity.
The SUV has a 52-litre fuel tank. Boot capacity varies depending on how the third row is used.
With all three rows in place, boot space is rated at 192 litres. Folding the third row increases the available luggage capacity to 528 litres.

| Fuel tank | 52 litres |

Powertrain
The Hector Tomahawk PHEV uses a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine operating on the Atkinson cycle.
The engine is paired with a 20.5kWh battery pack and a Dedicated Hybrid Transmission, or DHT, which sends power to the wheels.
The larger battery is one of the key differences between a conventional hybrid setup and this plug-in hybrid configuration. It allows the SUV to travel using electric power for a claimed distance of up to 115km.
For longer journeys, the petrol engine and electric system work together. MG claims a combined driving range of up to 1,100km.
The claimed electric range could make the PHEV suitable for buyers who have access to regular charging and want to use electric power for shorter daily journeys while retaining the flexibility of a petrol engine for longer trips.
Pricing
The Hector Tomahawk range starts at Rs. 13.99 lakh (ex-showroom), while the PHEV’s BaaS pricing starts at Rs. 21.80 lakh.
The PHEV is available in the Exclusive and Essence variants, giving buyers two equipment levels to choose from.
Bookings have opened, with deliveries expected to start in September. The EV version of the Hector Tomahawk is scheduled to begin deliveries later, in November.
The new Hector Tomahawk PHEV therefore combines three-row practicality with a plug-in hybrid powertrain and an advertised electric-only range of 115km. With two variants, eight exterior colour combinations and a claimed combined range of 1,100km, it gives buyers a choice between everyday electric driving and longer-distance flexibility without relying solely on battery power. Final buying decisions will depend on the variant, equipment, charging access and pricing structure selected.
